LIke for like is not necessarily the best thing to do. Manufacturers offer revise and improve parts or provide replacements which would be tested and approved.

If there is a replacement part that is provided by the authorised jabiru agent you should be using it as it is probably a better part than the original. It would be a change that does not require any approval as it is a part that is issued by the manufacturer!

My advice to you is to find yourself a new inspectors the old one seems to be out of touch.
